Frank Duffy’s Poem “DEPRESSION”

DEPRESSION

I woke up with my friend depression I went to see my therapist for a skull session He asked me do you have any aggression I told him aggression is not my only obsession Without a profession its easy to get caught in any obsession So when I am feeling blue I try to be happy and think of you But my old friend depression is very sly Sometimes it wont even let me try But I am not giving up, I will not die I will keep on going I am going to try There is always hope if I don’t give in As long as I don’t pick up booze and dope! I will not die, so my old friend depression Why do you even try
